Favourite intellectual?

Also, Machiavelli, just because I find him quite funny!

Always cracks me up.

 

[Les Biehn]

Mmm. But look at her. You so would, wouldn't you...

Yeah, she's not bad. Sure I saw some nudies she done once, all part of her feminist blah, blah, blah. Still, good to wank over.

John Stewart Milne


....on half a pint of cider was particularily ill


Rene Descartes


...was a drunken fart

Emmanuel Kant was a real pissant,
he was very rarely stable,
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar,
he could drink you under the table ...............

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Petr Kropotkin.

Top choice, gnlf

He has a Brighton bus named after him. Lived in Chesham Street, before moving to Rottingdean.

The greatest anarchist the world has ever seen.

And what a beard!

Don't you mean "ilne" ?

Why, thank you Lord B.

He lived in Rottingdean? I knew he lived in Brighton, didn't realise he lived in Rottingdean. Kipling and Kropotkin both in Rottingdean...what a star studded place it is(was).

Some people need to brush up on their philosophers.

This should help: http://www.mwscomp.com/sounds/mp3/philsong.mp3

Altogether now:

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel*
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.
